What software programs do you need to make animated cartoons and where can you get them?
Swish is another animation program, sometimes called “Flash for the rest of us.” as it’s supposed to be a lot easier to use. Ulead makes a neat .gif animator, and some of their photo editing programs include that, I believe. Also, you can go to www.gimp.org, download and install GIMP, an open source image manipulation program. There is also a GAP(graphical animation program) that goes with GIMP if you want it. GIMP is great. I haven’t used GAP, but for free it’s worth a try. www.theopencd.org is another place to find free software. Good luck.
